Re: Timing problem
I had some aluminum pulleys on an old 388 Small block I had in a Firechicken one time .. the belts would sqeal like crazy. I took some 80 grit I think it was and roughed up the contact area (down in the groove) just to knock the shine off of them and it took care of it. .. except when I really hammered it.

Re: Timing problem
Well I just went for a drive, and my temp at a light started to get up to 200. I killed the engine, and waited for the green. Once on the road it dropped down to 180, but the other day it was hotter outside and I was only getting up to 160 while driving, and 190 tops at a light. Damn it! The truck ran like crap too. Really dying out when I’d try to get on it. Also, when I got home I popped the hood and my carb was smoking. My temp still said just shy of 180, so what could this be. Is my carb dumping buckets of fuel to the point it’s splashing the sides of my carb and then burning off the edges or what?
CC69Rat, I’ll give it a shot when it cools down. Good idea though, thanks! I’m going to get this biitch dialed eventually. Last edited by Double Stack; 09-07-2011 at 05:11 PM. |

Re: Timing problem
Hey guy’s. Had to stop workin on the truck for a bit. I got T-boned on my side in my little honda civic, and it got totaled!! I’ve just been to stiff to really do anything with the truck until today. I wanted to tackle the starting/ fuel problem, so I started digging on the site. Sure as shet I found my answer. It seems from reading that the carb is leaking fuel out it’s fuel bowls drain plugs and into the engine. That explains the fuel smell in the cab. I checked my oil, and yes- it has gas in it again. it feels so thin it’s hardly an oil consistency. So I’m going to pull the carb, and plug the wholes with JV weld like everyone was talkin about in the threads I’ve been reading. Then i'll change the oil again too.
Other than that, I got the belts to stop squeaking using CC69Rat’s method. Thanks man. Last edited by Double Stack; 10-05-2011 at 05:27 PM. |

Re: Timing problem
I'm starting to think this engine is probably going to be nothing but trouble, I think you should just sell it to me real cheap and get out from under it.

Re: Timing problem
I'd give you my girlfriend first... Thank's for the offer though.
A member her (68GMSee) has in formed me that the holes i was going to plug are only on the Q-Jet carbs. From what i've found now, I need to adjust the float in my 1406 Edelbrock. |
